A  £69  Springer with Iron Sights and  you bagged a Rabbit ! you have pulled of the impossible , I am told that to do this you must have about a £1000 worth of kit to achieve such feats of Marksmanship and worse still you had a dog with you ? you do know that the dog could run off and catch a Rabbit that had been wounded  and bring it back to you , the rule is that you say Lost in long Grass which is fair enough but how are the Rabbits shot in long Grass in the first place ?

Listen it took me long enough to get the right gun & calibre, the right tuning and the right stock to let it go that easily!

It’ll have to be prized out of my dead hands

But if your around when that happens I’ll make sure you get first shout.

Lads I can see this being a new hobby! I have two bsa meteors and a cadet laying in the cabinet all in need of some serious TLC. Any advice or helpful websites would be appreciated.
